Yep, as a matter of fact, I just came in a little bit ago. I live in subdivision, mostly 1 acre lots,but my backyard is surrounded by arborvitaes so it's like I am in my own little world out there. The older I get the earlier I wake up, so I sit out there and just listen to the sounds of nature. I normally only see rabbits ,hopping around , and the occasional owl, I know we have possum and coon , every year I have to nab a few with my live traps , to try to keep them out of the bird feeders. There is something about sitting out there , before first light , that is very peaceful. On more than one occasion, I have fallen back to sleep on our patio furniture.

Be thankful you live where you can do that. It is nice though.

All my life since I was about four years old. Used to ask my mother if I could sleep on the back porch so I could see the stars at night.

Just did it about 3:30 this morning. Went out on the deck to take a pee (I prefer peeing off my deck over using the bathroom) and the full Harvest Moon was looking spectacular. I sat down and just took it all in for a while before heading back inside to bed.
Eh...wot?

That and lying under a tin roof in a lite rain. Just the ping ping of the rain drops. I was from NJ a long time ago but went to a wedding 2 years ago. A couple of friends were getting remarried, they had lived all there life in NJ but got remarried in eastern Pa. In the evening they came out and saw stars and were surprised, no stars in NJ I assume. I bet that 1/4 of the pop of the USA can not see stars........jk

We sit out back alot and do that too. Or sometimes we start a small fire and just listen to it crackle My favorite part of the fire is watching the embers flicker at the end when theres no flame left. And no im not high when i do it.

If you want to see the stars you need to be in a western desert or mountain top on a moonless cloudless below0 cold winter night, far from any town or yard light. There will not only be no other light but no humidity either. It is indescribable. If you have not seen them you can't even imagine.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Seen what your describing from Mexico to Iraq…same beautiful sight and stars no matter what continent you’re on. Gives you a peace of mind knowing it’s the same view back home in SWGA.

All the time. It's good for your soul. Something about hearing coyotes though, seems to wake up a part of me... hard to explain but somehow it energizes me. Everything else...the owls, katydids, crickets, frogs, night birds, etc bring a peaceful, easy feeling.... but then the coyotes howl and I'm 100% alive and alert.
